Reply to "Parents call cops on coach, coach arrested"

FWIW, coach was dealing with a bad apple. Same kid was suspended at tryouts for talking back to the coach and swearing at him.

I had this conversation with fellow coach earlier this year about a young man trying out for team with big red flags in regards to his character and off field choices. My thought: "Let's just cut him. End of issue." HC replies: "Yeah, but I can't deny he is my best player at that position." My reply: "SO?????????"

This tide might turn when HC's actually do take character into account when assessing a player at tryouts. Cutting the best player due to documented character issues may lose you some games I agree, but it may also save you some jail time.
